Sounds like something Gorgon would say.

Raithe Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Dr. Phil is a psychologist not a virologist. Dr. Oz is a cardiologist not a virologist. Dr. Pepper is a soda not a virologist. Dr. Dre is a rapper not a virol...ogist. Dr. Evil is a villain not a virologist. Dr. Seuss is a children’s author not a virologist. Dr. Bronner’s is castile soap not a virologist. Dr. Hannibal Lector is a cannibal psychologist not a virologist. Dr. Who is a time lord not a virologist. Dr. Frank-N-Furter is an experience not a virologist. Just because a “doctor” is on TV talking about the Corona Virus doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about or are qualified to do so, especially the first two. Listen to virologists when it comes to viruses. Your health and possibly your life is at stake. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Agiel Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 3 2 1 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how badly do you want to avoid this virus??? Pregnancy has made the female immune system much more aggressive, so we are not comparing on even terms to begin with. Add to that that men smoke more and have more lifestyle illnesses, diabetes etc and have shorter lifespans for that reason, they probably on average still do more 'grunt work' that exposes them to risk. I think it comes down to men being 70% more likely to die from Covid. 3 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

I think it comes down to men being 70% more likely to die from Covid if you are male. I was following this debate on numerous international news channels around why more men die or are adversely effected from the virus and even though the reasons you mentioned were raised I am not convinced its accurate or the real reason..basically the argument is lifestyle choices There are many men globally who have become sick and they are in perfect health and sadly some of them have died. Also the pregnancy argument makes sense but what if a women has never been pregnant would the boosted immune system still apply? I think the real reason for this concerning reality is still to be understood like many things we just dont know yet about the virus What about if the virus was created by man-hating radical feminists in an attempt to destroy us men and usurp the natural balance and around gender hierarchy ..... Im sure Volo has links to support this ?

Hurlshort Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I wish they'd post more about the number of smokers who are heavily affected by the virus. They are quick to mention pre-existing health conditions, but it would be interesting to see what percentages of people that encountered serious problems were also vaping and smoking. I mean, lung health is a pretty big part of this whole thing. I hope those who do regularly breathe bad crap into their lungs are at least thinking twice about it now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a suggested link to countries with high levels of air pollution and smog, like parts of China, and people getting sick easier due to weaker or comprised respiratory systems which is the same as a heavy smoker "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
